If you are a member of Aetna Better Health and enroll in the Aetna Better Health of Virginia (HMO SNP) we will coordinate your Medicare and Medicaid covered services for you.

Why join a HMO SNP Plan?

Medicare & Medicaid were never meant to work together, creating gaps and overlaps in your care. However, if you are enrolled in CCC Plus and you qualify for Medicare you can enroll in a DSNP and have all of your health care needs and benefits coordinated.

It is even possible that you can enroll in the same health plan for your Medicare and Medicaid benefits. This will enhance and simplify the coordination of your benefits and reduce your burden.

If you are enrolled in a HMO SNP, you will not have premiums or co‐pays for doctor or specialist visits. You may have some co‐pays for prescription drugs.

HMO SNPs often provide coverage for additional services not covered by Medicare or Medicaid.

HMO SNPs offer more focused care to ensure you receive the help you need to manage your health.
